      I was born in Whittier, East Los Angeles in 1957, moved south to Mission Viejo in 1967 and graduated High School in 1975 In 1977 I drove to Ketchikan, Alaska, worked for a month on the docks, then flew to Hawaii to go surfing and never looked back.My first job was as a food runner at Lion Country Safari in Irvine, and since then worked as a car detailer, warehouse stocker, dishwasher, short order cook, busboy, stevedore, bellhop, shuttle driver, mason, painter, laborer, the guy with the shovel on concrete pours, fisherman, taro farmer, real estate broker, bartender, and writer Although writing isn t really work when it s going well It s like transcendental neuro athletics, hand eye mind coordination typing as fast as you can to keep up with the flow of words as they build a world on paper.When I was growing up, my Dad would read about 3 novels a week, they were laying all over the place, piled in the corners, on desks and tables, mostly crime novels, so about a year ago I split from my Action Adventure genre and wrote a crime novel for him, titled Edge of the Pit This year I followed it up with The Catalina Cabal.I finished my first novel when I was 36, then got busy raising kids, and didn t attempt another till 20 years later when I wrote 4 in 3 years, which still seems a little weak I need to step it up a bit.My birthday is on June 1, which is the first day of Hurricane Season in Hawaii My wife says that explains a lot

    8. I won this book in a giveaway.It wasn t horrible, but I tend to not like books written in first person, especially with an overuse of the word I Story was ok, but not very original, and seems easily predictable, but sadly I will never know DNF couldn t get past the writing style Easy to read, low level writing if you are looking for a mindless snack.
